Things To Do In Albuquerque New Mexico

Never been to Albuquerque before? There are dozens of great places to visit, sights to see, and things to do. You can plan your trip around certain events, or check to see what is happening while you are in the city. There’s always something going on, and plenty of unique locations that will entertain you each and every day.

Old Town alone is worth a nice long stroll – it’s the perfect place to really soak up the flavor that saturates Albuquerque. Around for 300 years, this is the center of the original city, slowly built up over the years, but without losing its natural beauty and appeal. Old Town also gets to play host to a variety of festivals held by the city every year.

The Albuquerque Biological Park is a wonder to behold, with several large areas that each features something that will interest and entice visitors, young and old alike. The entire area encompasses the Rio Grande Botanic Garden, the Albuquerque Aquarium, Tingley Beach, and the Rio Grande Zoo. So you can visit animals on land, check out a massive shark tank, explore amazing plants and flowers, and then go fishing – all in one day if you like!

Looking for one more amazing place to visit? The Church of San Felipe de Neri was originally built in 1706 and the first Roman Catholic Church in Albuquerque. It has survived over an amazing 300 years and sits right in Old Town so you can easily find and explore it. It’s a wonderful place to not only experience history, but see past and present architecture, local art, and the small museum inside with items that used to once hang on the museum’s walls.

These are only a few things that Albuquerque has to offer. You might be surprised to learn just how many things and events the city is ready to show you – so start making plans because you’re going to have a fantastic time!
